Chapter 375 Imitator!

The competition between Shohoku High School and Sanno Industries has finally come to an end.

As strong as Sanno Industrial, it still lost to Shohoku High School by 14 points. After the whole game, Shohoku High School's ace Jinguji Budo scored 43 points by himself. In the eyes of the audience, the top scorer of Shohoku High School and Sanno

In the first half of the game, Jinguji Martial Arts didn't take many shots at all.

But even so, when the statistics were compiled after the game, Jinguji Budo's score was still the highest among other players in the game.

It is worth mentioning that Sakuragi Hanamichi, a first-year rookie from Shohoku High School, scored 13 rebounds and scored 24 points in this game. Facing a strong team like Sanno Industries, first-year Sakuragi actually...

Handed over star-level data.

Compared with him, the statistics of Rukawa Kaede, who worked hard in the first half, were not that impressive. Although he scored in double figures, he only had more than ten points. His brilliance was outshone by Hanamichi Sakuragi, who was in the same grade.

After the game, Sakuragi Hanamichi proudly showed off to other members of the same class.

Kiyota Nobunaga, Nango and others could only be angry at Sakuragi's arrogant attitude, but they had to hold their noses in recognition of his achievements.

There is no way, data is too hard.

Moreover, the opponent is a super strong school like Sanno Industries, and Sakuragi’s opponents are also national-level players such as Nobe Masahiro and Kawada Masashi. In terms of scoring, Sakuragi may have missed something, but Sakuragi is the rebounder.

Hanamichi relied on his strength to grab it.

Hanamichi Sakuragi had the most rebounds in the game. In this regard, even Masashi Kawada and Masahiro Nobe could not compare with Hanamichi Sakuragi.

As for Takenori Akagi, who only played half of the game, his rebounding data was even higher than that of Sakuragi Hanamichi. Just looking at the data, the two are not players of the same level at all.

It is precisely because of Sakuragi Hanamichi's active performance in this game that other participating teams in the conference also paid attention to this first-year player from Shohoku.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's level of rebounding ability can completely guide the direction of the game at critical moments. Even if you don't pay attention to it, you can't do it at all.

After the game between Shohoku High School and Sanno, everyone from Sanno, led by Goro Domoto, entered the player tunnel and exited.

Their journey to the national competition has come to an end. The Sanno players have missed the national championship for two consecutive years, which makes these champion players feel particularly uncomfortable. Especially the third-year high school students Kawada Masashi and Fukatsu Kazunari.

They participated in the national competition with the team when they were in the first grade. In that year, they played as substitute players and successfully helped the team win the national championship.

But since they became the starters and the backbone of Sanno, the team failed to win the national championship for two consecutive years, which made the young Kawada and Fukatsu Kazunari very uncomfortable.

They believed that the glory of Sanwang was ruined by their hands, and this feeling of self-blame lingered in their minds. Huge pressure enveloped these two young players, and finally returned to their team's lounge.

After that, Fukatsu Kazunari finally couldn't hold it any longer, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

His emotional collapse had a chain effect, and some players with higher self-esteem couldn't help but shed tears of frustration. For a while, the lounge was filled with the sobbing sounds of the San Kings players.

Domoto Goro looked at the scene in front of him, raised his head slightly, and tried to control his emotions.

He can feel the sadness in the hearts of these players. For those third-year players, this year's IH is the last IH of their high school careers. Sanno Industries, which once had a brilliant record, has actually begun to decline in the past two years.

.

Even an adult like him can't handle such pressure for a while, let alone these young players.

Sanno's old fans and the people of Akita Prefecture will not understand Sanno's failure because of how tough Sanno's opponents are. They only know that the glorious Sanno Industries was headed by players such as Sawabita Eiji and Kawada Masashi for two consecutive years.

Missed the national championship this year.

They couldn't even make it to the finals of the national competition. The decline of Sanwang started with their current generation of players!

"You guys still have a chance." Domoto Goro walked to Sabahita Eiji's side. Looking at Fukatsu Kazunari and the others who were already crying, he could only give a weak comfort.

Hearing this, Zebei Eiji smiled bitterly and shook his head, remaining silent.

Shohoku High School returned to the lounge after the game. After quickly packing up their things, coach Anzai led them to the stands.

After the game between Shohoku High School and Sanno Industries, the next game was the game between the other teams in their Group A.

In third place, Kumamoto defeated Hojo Shisho and successfully qualified. In the battle, he defeated Yokotama Industries and Meito Industries.

The winner of these two teams will be their opponent in the next round of Xianghoku High School. Therefore, after the game, the Xianghoku players hurriedly packed up their things and went to the stands.

They need to carefully observe their next opponent.

At this time, Jinguji Budo had already changed out of his wet jersey and put on a clean white training shirt. He came to the stands with his teammates and sat on the stool, looking towards the stadium.

At this time, the players of Kumamoto Third and the players of Mingpeng Industrial had already entered the court. However, the staff of the conference were still cleaning the court, so the players of the two teams were still standing on the sidelines and did not enter the court.

Warm up during.

The captain of Metomo Industries, Kijiro Hirabayashi, stood on the sidelines, dribbling the ball casually and starting warm-up activities early.

His eyes did not pay attention to the opponents at the other end of the stadium at this time. Instead, he looked around the stands, as if he was looking for someone. Soon, Zhu Xingda's eyes fell on a corner of the stands.

There, the players from Xiangbei had just taken their seats.

"Xiangbei."

"After defeating Kumamoto Third, we will encounter Shohoku High School and Jinguji Martial Arts. Can we really defeat such opponents?!"

Hirabayashi Kijiro was dribbling the ball in his hands, thinking so in his mind. Even before he competed against Shohoku High School's Jinguji Martial Arts, Hirabayashi Kijiro was already feeling heavy pressure.

His dribbling speed began to speed up unconsciously, and he couldn't control the impatience in his heart.

"Onijiro, the game hasn't started yet. The warm-up doesn't need to be so intense. Just relax."

"You have already seen the strength of Kumamoto No. 3. Their strength is just like that, so don't worry about it."

The coach of Mingpeng Industry is an old man in his fifties, only about 160cm tall, with a thin body and a slight stoop. At this time, coach Mingpeng rubbed the stubble on his chin and turned to look at Ping Lin of his team.

Onijiro said with a smile.

"Sorry, coach." Hirabayashi Onijiro withdrew his gaze, said sorry to the coach, collected the ball, clamped the ball on his waist, and looked at his opponent on the other side of the court, Kumamoto third.

Kumamoto Third is a team from Kumamoto Prefecture. Unlike a strong basketball prefecture like Kanagawa, Kumamoto only has one quota in the national competition. Kumamoto Third is able to win this quota, and the overall strength of the team is also quite good.

good.

In the ratings of Basketball Magazine, Kumamoto is ranked third as a B-level team.

It can be considered a mid-range level among all participating teams.

However, Mingpeng Industry, which is about to fight with them, is not a weakling either.

Last year, Mingpeng entered the national competition, and they qualified from Aichi Prefecture, and Aichi Prefecture is a well-known basketball powerhouse. Being able to play from Aichi Prefecture already shows the strength of Mingpeng. This year, Mingpeng

It was even rated as an A-level team.

Among all participating teams, they are at the top.

Therefore, Metomo's captain Kijiro Hirabayashi did not pay too much attention to this game. In his eyes, Kumamoto No. 3 from Ogata could not pose any threat to an A-level team like them.

From the very beginning, Kijiro Hirabayashi had already set his target for the battle on Shohoku High School.

In his opinion, only a strong team like Xiangbei High School can pose some threat to their Mingpeng Industry.

Soon, the cleaners had finished cleaning the court. At the referee's signal, the coaches of both sides shook hands in front of the referee's bench, and the players also walked into the court one after another and began to warm up before the game.

In the stands, the Xiangbei players who had just won the game began to comment and point at the players from both sides.

"A-level Mingpeng Industrial vs. B-level Kumamoto Third. Just by looking at the ratings of the two teams, you can tell the winner!"

Nango Koichiro was eating something in his mouth and holding a magazine in his hand. On it was the rating of the participating teams in this year's national competition.

Seeing that this match was between an A-level team and a B-level team, Nango Koichiro lost some interest.

When Sakuragi Hanamichi heard what Nanxiang said, he suddenly shook his head and said with regret:

"Oh! You really have a simple mind!"

"If the strength of a team only depends on the team's rating, then there is no need to play the game. It is recommended that trophies be awarded directly based on the team's rating."

"Rye-dye monkey, can you use your monkey brain? Will Kumamoto definitely lose? I don't believe it, I think Kumamoto will win!"

Not to mention, although Hanamichi Sakuragi spoke in a very unflattering tone, his words were not unreasonable. Although Nango Koichiro felt that there was nothing wrong with Sakuragi's "strength and weakness theory", he did not respond to Sakuragi calling him a monkey brain.

He was still quite angry and retorted directly:

"Asshole! Who are you talking about, the red-haired monkey?!"

"I don't believe that Kumamoto Third can win! Kumamoto Third is definitely no match for Mingpeng Industrial!"

"I said!!"

Nanxiang scratched his neck and howled. After saying this, Nanxiang Koichiro seemed unhappy. He suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted towards the field: "Mingpeng Industry, come on! Don't lose!"

When Sakuragi Hanamichi saw Nango Koichiro cheering for Mingtomo, he was not to be outdone. He also stood up and shouted towards the field: "Asshole! Guys from Kumamoto Prefecture, don't lose to Mingtomo Industry! Fight hard and fight for this genius.

Tone!”

"Don't let idiots look down on you!"

Two Xiangbei players rushed to cheer for two different teams on the field. This strange sight attracted the attention of the audience.

Everyone couldn’t understand why Shohoku High School players would cheer for Metomo Industries and Kumamoto Third. What was even more puzzling was that the Shohoku players actually cheered for people from different teams. Such an operation would make other people confused.

Can't understand.

Jinguji Budo was sitting between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Nango Koichiro. The two bastards yelling and yelling gave Budo a headache.

After rubbing his head, Wu Dao couldn't stand the howling of the two people, so he couldn't help but stretched out his hands to grab the clothes of the two people, and pulled them back to their seats.

"Asshole! Don't disturb me watching the game!"

"Be quiet!"

After being scolded by Martial Arts, Sakuragi and Nanxiang became quiet. However, the two people were restless in their seats. They glared at each other, then involuntarily held up their hands and looked at the field.

"oh"

"The captain of Mingpou Industrial Co., Ltd. is named Hirabayashi Kijiro. He is actually 191cm tall and he plays the small forward position."

"The famous friends he led had a fierce battle with Aihe students in the county competition! They only lost to Aihe by 12 points."

Not long after Hanamichi Sakuragi and Nango were quiet, Hisashi Mitsui, who was sitting in front of Budou, picked up the magazine on the ground. After briefly flipping through it, he suddenly saw the introduction of famous friends in the magazine, and he was slightly interested.

said.

In high school basketball, few teams can have small forwards who are taller than 190cm. The centers of many teams may not be able to reach such a height, let alone the small forward position.

From the staffing of Mingpeng, Hisashi Mitsui can vaguely feel the strength of Mingpeng Industrial. A team with such a high level of small forwards will not be very weak.

Mitsui Hisaru's words immediately attracted Nango Koichiro's attention. He stuck his head out, and Nango put his chin on Mitsui Hisashi's shoulder. He looked carefully at the magazine in Mitsui Hisashi's hand and praised him deliberately and exaggeratedly:

"oh!!!"

"The small forward who is 191cm tall is so tall! He is almost the same height as a certain power forward!"

"How powerful this is! Even a certain power forward may not be able to stop it!"

When Nanxiang spoke, he kept glancing at Sakuragi. Sakuragi was annoyed by the sight, so he snorted, turned his head and ignored Nanxiang. Seeing Sakuragi like this, Nanxiang suddenly became active.

He kept praising Mingpeng Industry, as if he had a good relationship with Mingpeng.

The time in the warm-up period passed quickly. Just as Sakuragi and Nango were arguing, the referee had already blown the whistle to start the game.

Both teams took up positions in the center circle, preparing for the jump ball.

After a long whistle, the basketball was thrown into the air.

The center of Mingpeng Industrial is No. 8, and his height should be around 195cm according to visual inspection. However, his opponent is a little shorter than him, maybe not even 190cm. He jumped up and was directly hit by Mingpeng's center, who quickly reached the back.

In the hands of the defender on the field.

The latter took the ball and took it out. At this moment, No. 4 Hirabayashi Kijiro was given the ball. Hirabayashi Kijiro did not stop for a moment and quickly advanced with the ball. Then he quickly approached the three-point line under the surprised eyes of the audience.

He made an emergency stop, made a pull-up, and threw the ball directly without waiting for his teammates to get into position.

The basketball quickly crossed half the court and plunged into the basket with a crisp sound.

The Xiangbei players in the stands were all shocked to see what was happening on the field. Some of the players turned their heads, and all eyes fell on Jinguji Martial Arts.

Even Jinguji Budo was surprised when he saw this ball. He raised his eyebrows and couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

Although it was only one ball, I was surprisingly familiar with Hirabayashi Kijiro's style of play and Jinguji Martial Arts!!
